Pure. JOY! First baby steps in my business..



I'm starting this new thing in life; called... Following my Dreams! I know; crazy. Or so the majority of people would say.. I'm 21 years young living with every beat of my heart! It's never too late to start following your dreams, but many people don't start living until they find out, well...for lack of better words- they're dying. That sounds horrendous, but think about it-- How many people do you know who worked in a job they hated just to pay the bills, to put food on the table! How many people do you know that have a dream that was never followed?!

That's not me.
And quite honestly, I HOPE that is not you.

Hi, I’m Sarah! I love my camera, silk blankets, lace…anything, smiling, surprising people, and lyrics to songs! I am obsessed with the color mint! I believe with every ounce of me that we live a purpose-driven life… Yes, everyONE person has a significant purpose. I believe that sometimes all you need is faith as big as a mustard seed, and God will do the rest. If you don’t agree, do me a favor. Place your hand over your heart, feel THAT? That’s called purpose. You’re alive for a reason. No matter what obstacles and heart breaks have been placed in your way, I want you to keep striving for more. Sometimes the end of YOUR rope is the beginning of God’s doorstep. Find that one thing that makes you truly HAPPY; and then pursue that with all of you.

That’s where I am at right now. I’m living in this big old world with a crazy dream. I want to be a photojournalist and travel the world. I want to go where love is needed… Have eyes that see the ones forgotten, have arms for the broken-hearted, and love for humanity. I’m asking that my eyes be opened; and allow my gypsy soul to see the world. So with every penny I earn from this wonderful site, I am dedicating it to going to India. To stand in the midst of the slums with vibrant colors bouncing off my lens; and be humbled. Maybe it is a selfish venture, but I know one day I will make a difference. To help one person exceed every expectation that has ever hovered over their head; to write lines that change hearts, to share peoples’ story that do not have a voice.

So the point of my little tirade is that I’m determined to promote hope, faith, and LOVE. Whether it’s through a silly lace headband with “love” written on it, an original artpiece or a heart wrenching story of the things the world has broken my heart of- I hope you are inspired to hug those you love, and pursue your dreams with every breath you have!
If you visit me on http://www.etsy.com/shop/PhotoSoulBoutique you will find me!

I hope to meet every person who wanders across this page, but until then… smile OFTEN, take WAY too many pictures, have faith, hope, and among all- LOVE.

Never stop dreaming!

With love,
PhotoSoul Sarah.

    1. In 5 years i see my business as being well successful! I hope to build a great network of clients and peers. My first passion is technology. From computers to phones and everything in-between. Hopefully with my expertise in computer science field, it will boost my success in my photography field also. In 5 years I would also love to have my own location. Im a goal setter.
